The Story of “Send”

Google put together an entertaining animation showing what happens when you click the “Send” button in your email application.

Google’s also trying to show you what a “Green” company they’ve become. In actuality being “Green” can save a company a lot of money in operating costs so it’s kind of win-win for business and the environment. Just about every large company on the planet is looking for ways to decrease operating costs and if it happens to have a positive environmental impact that’s just free PR they can spread about.
